Dose anyone here likes (or owns) vintage synths, or dose anyone own a vintage instrument like a gutiar or example?

I personaly love vintage synthesizers, my particular favorites would have to be the Roland Juno 60 and JP8000.

In what sense ?? The object or the sound they create ??

I like this if it counts... Pretty weird but I like the sound ^_^

Haven't played it in awhile TBH :)

I too like vintage instruments, but sadly this is my only one^^ (I do have other acoustic instruments tho)

Personaliy I would like to own a vintage DX or something, but hey I've had a chance to play the Juno Di and that thing rocks!

I own a Suzuki Omnichord. It's almost 30 years old and was the very latest technology when I got it. I can play most of the tunes in the song book it came with, as long as the music is in front of me.

I have several (12) vintage lap steel guitars. Magnatones are my favorite. I have a couple Oahu's also. I also have a 1940 National Resonator (Brass body) that belonged to my great aunt.

No vintage synths ( yet :wink: ). I would love to find an old Theremin.

I have an affinity for funky old solid state amps too, but I currently don't have any.

I have a Yamaha DX7. Truth is, I went full software. I love the vintage stuff, but I also need practicality.

If anything I would want a Moog modular setup or a MS20. Arp2600 seems like it would be a good thing to own too. I guess I've never really hated a synthesizer. Have I?

Do you know the Onde Martenot? That would be something I would die for. Jonny from radiohead made it famous again after it was unused, unnoticed and discontinued way back in the mid 1900s.

I just read something about the Buschla 200e (not sure of the spelling) and that looks pretty amazing.

Do you use softsynths as well? I know it's blasphemy.
